Power up: NYC's winning condom wrapper design
First the Olympic athletes run out of condoms. Then DC reveals it's gonna start making female condoms more readily available. Now, NYC unveils its new condom wrapper design: a power up symbol.
It's supposed to symbolize New Yorkers' "power to take control and practice safer sex," NYC Health Department says.(nyc.gov via npr.org)
How... suggestive. Hotdog down a hallway game proper.
And... we're off!
The birthday week is off to a good start.
1. Sparkly things (he's the best 
)
2. Da moviez (see the previous post)
3. Coldstone Creamery (The ice cream cupcakes? AMAZING. And they come in little chocolate cups... mmmm)
HATED IT
3D animation overload: check. Difficult to decipher accents: check. Completely different story from the original: check. Well, it looks like Tim Burton has all the ingredients to make his interpretation of "Alice in Wonderland" an epic fail. A shame, because I usually enjoy his films.
4-word review: Read the book instead.

Hair Update: 9 1/2 months
I'm almost at the 10-month mark with my hair, and there's so much I'm looking forward to doing with it. However, some minor issues still arise every now and then...
The budding! OMG it's insane. Some locs are sprouting buds in multiple places. I know it's part of the whole loc-ing process, but I wish they would hurry up and straighten out.
The frizz! Of course, I'm still fighting embracing it. But, like the extreme budding, I'm hoping that'll straighten itself out eventually.
It's not all budding and frizz though. Now that my hair's begun to look and feel more like actual dreads, I have some favorite locs. Like this one...
And this one...
And these. Such personality my hair has 
I'm also contemplating hair colors. I know it's a little... bright... but I'm digging this lady's dye job:
I would only dye the ends of my locs this color, or maybe two or three in the back (gotta keep myself employable y'all 
).

STFU: Kittie Troy from "Let's Talk About Pep"
This ho... this ho right here? OF COURSE she's from DC, smh (yet why does she talk with an affected NY accent?). I knew her special brand of annoying had to have some sort of background, and it looks like she's been perfecting her craft for years. Those of you who listen to the radio around here might remember her screeching on Big Tigger's old radio show, "Live in the Den." Doesn't ring a bell? Then maybe you'll remember her voicing the original 3D hoodrat, Cita, on BET (how fitting). Now she's The Slutty One on VH1's "Let's Talk About Pep." LOL.
Progress, people, progress.

Hoodrat Stuff: Latarian Milton
Web Redemption - Hood Rat Kid
Good ol' Latarian (aka Laterrible). This here's a guy after my own heart: after stealing and crashing his grandma's car at the ripe age of seven--because, in his words, he wanted to do "hoodrat stuff"--he beat her up in Walmart a few months later for refusing to buy him some chicken wings. Now, of course, he's internet famous. Gangstas first!
